2017 Charles County History Day and Science Fair

The combined Charles County Annual History Day  and the Annual Science Fair (now referred to as H.I.T.S.) were held on March 18, 2017.  CCASM sponsored one of the special History awards and one of the Science awards.  In both cases the award was $50 and a one-year membership in CCASM.


This year's history topic was "Taking a Stand in History”.  The CCASM History award went to Gwyneth Luster for her documentary video “The Court-martial of Billy Mitchell: Taking a Stand to Tell the Truth”.   Gwyneth is an 8th grader from St. Mary's Bryantown. 
She won first place in the Individual Documentary, Junior Division, and advances to the state competition on April 29 at the University of Maryland Baltimore County.

This year's CCASM Science award for a project "demonstrating excellence and scientific thinking relevant to the field of archaeology" went to James Embry for his science project on “Which type of roofing and sides are the most water-resistant for Native American Longhouses - Bark or Thatch? ”.  James is a 5th grader from Malcolm Elementary School.



Congratulations, Gwyneth and James!


Also CCASM would like to thank Doug and Sami Zabel who judged the science projects for the CCASM award.
